摘要
We report an anomalous electronic transport signature in polyaniline nanofiber networks probed via the temperature-dependent dc conductivity [sigma(dc)(T)], reflectance [R(omega,T)] over a broad frequency range (300-50 000 cm(-1)), and x-ray diffraction. We determined that disorder and localization dominate the bulk charge dynamics and propose that the origin of the atypical electronic transport signature in the nanofibers networks is the "fragile" nature of the conductance at the nanofiber interfaces resulting from the strong T-dependent localization of electronic states in the nanostructure interface regions.
